2.1 Shadow - Mings Heart - (Phys + Chaos) synergy

I'm having fun with this.

The main point is that mings hearts adds from your Physical Damage some nice extra chaos damage. Meanwhile, the Shadow Physical nodes now have chaos damage, which is some sweet synergy with Mings ("double dipping" these nodes.) Atziri's Promise goes well with this as well.

Lvl 70 Gear




Lvl 70
- 4k life great
- 5105 armor
- 2451 evasion - would be crazy high if pick up grace (which the blood magic allows, but I've been lazy)
- 14.2k dps EK totem 6L - lvl 20 EK, Projectile Speed, Faster Casting, Controlled Destruction, reduced mana, spell totem (Added Fire and Iron Will won't fit in my corrupted 6L)
- 8.9k dps blade fall $L - lvl 16 blade fall, added fire, faster casting, blood magic
- Plays Flame Totem and Fire Storm Like
- Hatred (up to 39% phys added as cold)
- Herald of Fire (15% phys added as fire)
- 2x Mings Hearts (40% phys added as chaos + 5% from tree = 45% phys added as chaos)
- Path of Life Nodes to Make up for Mings (30% reduced life need an extra 30% life)
- High life items to make up for Mings (no base life on mings)
- Currently Whirling blades cause why not

If you grab Grace and IR then you'd have some GG Armour, which I'm not running yet = safety. This might let me swap to 6L on the bladefall, instead of 6L on the totem'd EK.

Should/Could be using:
- Added Fire
- Iron will


Full Build
- Have Kaoms, could wear for top end maps - slight synergy with added fire
- Intended for High Level Maps in Hardcore
- Not Currently walking - ever
- Blood magic cause what is mana anyway?
- Chaos doesn't reflect (But your crazy phys and ele will, hence the self cast in a 4L)
- Synergy 3 ways to Sunday with Atziri flask
- Can run with Grace and IR - Reflect safety

Yes, my bladefall would be pimp-tastic if I had it lvl 20, or put it in my 6L. EK without totem on 6L with iron will over 30k dps with my missing levels supports (40k seems likely possible with little effort.)






Get final life and jewels last. Change anything you feel like. Just have plenty of % life to overcome Ming's Hearts and GG.

Future things: If you go staff, you'll move to phase run for movement. Always keep lighting warp also around. Can use a +1 staff - good with Kaom's. Pledge of hands is very useable if you self cast on the 6L. Blood magic is just cause you are lazy. Iron Will is more op. Some mana regen nodes right in dualist if you want to switch.


Suggestion: You could drop the projectile specialization and go more phys damage on tree for some points saved and better dps on bladefall.

Playing with Abyssal cry is a little fun. However, Enduring Cry and Rallying Cry are very useful. Can curse with Vulnerability. But I'm too lazy right now. Vulnerability Aura in place of Herald of Fire would be smart.


Cost Analysis

As I write this Mings Hearts cost 5c. Yes, that is dirt cheap. I paid 25c for chest, which was a great deal. Amulet was 1ex. I think i found the belt... not sure. Boots and other slots close to 2c. Trying to keep it to budget. Paid 20c for lvl 20 EK. Could by a bladefall still. This suggest current gear is under 3ex in price.

As you get money, you can consider a nice staff and Kaom's heart, which would be many ex's, and may be optional.
